Abstract

IEEE 802.11g has become the de facto standard for Wireless LAN. Most of the 802.11g functionality is implemented in hardware or firmware; modifying or extending such communication protocols is a difficult task. In this paper, we present modifications to the Omnet++ simulation environment to support an accurate IEEE 802.11g MAC and PHY simulation model. A solution for debugging the proposed model using protocol analyzers is also provided.
